...bankruptcy, and the PBGC took over its pension plans--which were short $3.7 billion. The company, once America's second largest steelmaker, no longer exists. In the Top 50 pension deadbeats of 1990, the PBGC reported that the funds of Pan Am Corp., operator of what was once the premier global airline, had only one-third of the assets needed to pay its promised pensions.

Harvard grants allow low-income students to attend the College with no parental contribution. They sponsor groundbreaking medical research (which, among other things, has made Harvard the premier place for stem-cell research in the U.S.), and they sponsor initiatives to solve longstanding health, poverty, and cultural issues.
